3/19 - 8:30pm - Last Day of Winter


Today was the official last day of winter, meaning spring starts tomorrow at 7:44am. This is when the sun will be pointed directly at the equator (an equinox), and will pass into the Northern Hemisphere after that time.

Today wasn't too bad considering we had a cold front go through last night, but it will cool down a little more for tomorrow. Frost is possible around the area tonight as we head into the middle 30's tonight, with highs just above 50 tomorrow. Warming starts this weekend with highs in the lower 60's, rising to near or above 70 by Tuesday. Storms will come through on Wednesday, and depending on their arrival time could be strong or severe. That'll be something to watch for next week.

Cooler weather could be on the way after next week if the GFS trends are correct.
